Oh boy. Avs 0-3 and desperate, playing at home, Korpisalo most likely in net for the Bruins with whatever uncertainties that brings, team as a whole still very much trying to find its feet. This could be unpleasant.

You never know. Boston could really turn up here, put in a good show and add to Colorado's early-season misery. Not ruling it out by any means. But I'm prepared for the possibility of a rough outing. Fingers crossed the Bs at least start to show some better habits and consistency and cut out the self-inflicted errors. Do that and play with some heart and effort and if they lose even so, I'll still count it as progress.

Colorado usually owns us at home

I have a funny feeling the Aves will come out strong and fast and get a 2-3 goals early, like Florida did at home and we will not be able to recover.
